At this first glance he recognizes them as being the two men with whom Mona had attempted argument and remonstrance on the night elected for Maxwell's murder. They are armed with guns, but wear no disguise, not even the usual band of black crape across the upper half of the face. "Yes, I dare say," says Lady Rodney, who is now wondering when this high-flown visitor will take her departure. "But why?" says Mona, trying to read his face. "Am I so different from other people?".
